Hip Hop's Aboriginal Connection

NPR

Beat Nation: Hip Hop as Indigenous Culture has become something of an art sensation in Canada. Featuring more than two dozen artists using beats, graffiti, humor and politics to challenge stereotypes, the exhibit coincides with the growth of Idle No More, an indigenous political movement in Canada. David Sommerstein reports for NPR's Weekend Edition on the connection between native culture and hip hop.
